The End of the Idealist

In the 30s, several young people came together because of a dream.

They were all geniuses—geniuses in the truest sense. They loved the overwhelming performance of prosthetic bodies, that freedom which transcended flesh and blood.

But limited by the fragility of the human brain, as well as thought and consciousness, many of a prosthetic body's capabilities were severely restricted. It was a form of protection for people.

Like an ordinary person driving a car over three hundred kilometers per hour—one slip, and both car and driver would be destroyed.

At the time, many companies in various countries were researching artificial intelligence, believing that intelligent auxiliary brains could fully unleash the potential of prosthetic bodies.

It was not that no one had considered the brain itself. Rather, they knew that this path had no possibility of being realized at present.

But the thoughts of geniuses differed from those of ordinary people. What they pursued was a sense of freedom unfettered by anything, transcending the body of flesh and blood. Just like racing—only by personally reaching that speed could they feel joy, rather than using autopilot or taking high-speed rail or a plane.

At the same time, they keenly discovered that perhaps because of the powerful mobility of prosthetic bodies, the neural signals they produced stimulated the body far more intensely than a flesh-and-blood body could. The brain itself seemed to be "evolving" as it controlled the prosthetic body.

Only, the process was terribly slow—so slow that it might take dozens, even hundreds of generations before the evolution could truly be completed.

But since such a trend existed, it proved that the process could be artificially accelerated, so long as the right techniques were mastered.

The seeds of the Brain Evolution Technique emerged in the 60s, but as early as the 30s,
